Force outboards are OK but not the greatest. The 3.0 would likely
work fine but won;t be quick. It's a durable engine but not very smooth. The 4.3 would be a good match.
These seem a little better built then earlier bayliners, bayliners are well engineered
boats but were on the value end of the market. On any small
power boat of that age I would pay close attention to the Transom and Floors. I know bayliner shifted to less
wood some time in the 90's but not sure what year it took place.
